How to Wheelie Electric Bikes

Introduction

  • Goal: Teach viewers how to wheelie various types of electric bikes, including street-legal e-bikes, mini-motos, and full-sized e-motos.
  • Giveaway: $10,000 cash prize for e-bike enthusiasts, with links for entry provided.

Safety and Preparation

  • Gear Up: Always wear a helmet and gloves as a minimum. Consider full protective gear: boots, knee pads, spine armor.
  • Bike Check: Ensure brakes are functioning well. The rear wheel should lock with one finger on the brake.
  • Practice Environment: Start on grass or with a trainer. Avoid practicing alone.
  • Attitude: Have fun and be patient. Learning takes time and practice.

The Basics of Wheelies

  • Golden Rule: Always keep a finger on the rear brake and remind yourself to use it.
  • Balance Point Concept: Much like leaning back on a chair to a tipping point. Aim for the balance point with one pedal stroke.

Pedal Bike Wheelies

  • Preparation: Focus on the dominant pedal position and pull the handlebars evenly.
  • Execution: Use a strong pedal stroke, pull back on the bars with weight thrown back into the seat, and look at the horizon for balance.

  • Dropping Legs: Stay committed to keeping the legs on the bike.
